| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Orange colored brew. Spicy, mild hoppy aroma. Flavor is floral, hoppy, citrus, sticky, some sweetness. Could use some more balance, still very enjoyable. fonefan (11888), VestJylland, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Draught @ Ølfestival Valby - CBF09, Copenhagen, Denmark. Unclear hazy medium yellow orange - amber color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, moderate to heavy hoppy, citrus - grapefruit shell. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a average to long duration. IMO a messy porridge, not as balanced as Menno’s beers normal is.. special in the flavor. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090515] JorisPPattyn (5192), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 1, 2009 Small, just off-white head over cloudy orange-amber beer with a UFO or two. Rich malty nose with abundant C-hops, grapey, alcohol and a little sourish spike. Outspoken bitter taste, but not harsh, ending in a fruity impression. Quite some malts, but their sweetness is totally overpowered by all the hops. The backing is OK, however, not unbalanced. Faint copper-like flavour. Very well carbonated, but all the same some pretty creamy texture. Well-bodied, much more than 6.2% would make believe. I could get hooked on this one, really. Svesse (2683), Hässelby, Sweden
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 30, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Hazy reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of dried fruit, orange, caramel, toffee, spices (nutmeg, cardamom) and rubber. Fruity, malty taste with caramel, dried fruit, orange peel, rubber and some citrussy, floral hops in the finish. Not very bitter, more spicy. Tasty beer but a bit unfocused, pointing in all kinds of directions. FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland

Fruity hoppy aroma - Anna says tamales. Acidic and alcoholic in the mouth. Some nettles. Not so good - too brash, and - dare I say it - overhopped. No balance. TBone (6850), Pori, Finland

Murky orange color, small white head. Sweaty, hoppy aroma - Cascade is there. Messy porridge in the flavor. Fruity, horseblankety (kind of), yeasty, twisted flavor. Too yeasty.. I prefer more clear IPAs ... :O) ante (2969), Stockholm, Sweden

Pours out in a cloudy brownish amber colour with a low off-white foam. Resinous aroma of orange-peels, flowers, grass and heavy perfume. Medium-bodied with notes of tangerine, nectarines and apricots with undertones of grassy hops. Medium-bitter finish of grassy and spicy hops. caesar (3034), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands
